I actually just read an article, I believe in the recent In fisherman, that mentioned a grass roots effort to commercially fish the Asian carp and donate meat to relief efforts sucha as that in Haiti and Japan. The article read that they are canning the meat and adding a tomato based sauce. It stated that it had the consistency of a white tuna. If this is correct there could be thousands of people fed. What a phenominal way to turn a negative into a positive.

I have TMJ. Or at least, had it badly in high school and early college. My jaw would pop every time I would open it to the point where I had to menuever my jaw to the side to open it wide. Had to wear a special mouthpiec at night for about 6 months. Luckily I never got LockJaw, which is what it sounds like you have. It can require surgery. Sometimes it is caused by grinding your teeth. Good Luck

Excellent links guys, thanks.. In my case, we just sighted in the muzzleloader and it was touching holes at 50yds. it also has a scope so I think a scoped muzzleloader will give him much more of an advantage over a bead sight .410 when the buck fever starts the shakes. Although, I must admit, we fired the .410 out to 50 yds using Brennke, Winchester, and Remington slugs using the bead sights and the gun performed better than I expected. It achieved a good grouping at 50 yds with all three cartridges but the Brennke's had the best groupings. If I was in a thick spot with bow ranges I would use the .410. It was light to carry, sufficiently accurate, and actually fun to shoot.

He is dead on with his estimated costs. I had my steering cables replaced about two years ago (from a solid mechanic) and the cost was over $700. My guy is honest and very reasonable when it comes to pricing. In fact, had I listened to Way2Slow sooner I would have converted to hydraulic. The work was all but done when I asked about it and couldn't pay for them to disassemble what they had just put into my boat. Next time I will definately have it changed over.

LMAO AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Brian Kelly is a good coach. He left every Cincinnati fan with hatred in their eyes and an entire city wishing him ill will. However, at some point, the Golden Domes will shine. I question his recruiting abilities though. All his success in Cincy was with Dantonio's recruits. time will tell but loyal Notre Dame fans may not have enough patience

I also was wondering if he had any pull at BASS and if he did, what his take on this matter would be. He built it from ground zero on merit and sportsmalike competition. Its funny, I often wonder what some of the founding tournament anglers opinions are of todays tournament trail ? Guys like hibdon, Dance, Nixon, who are still associated to some degree as well as some of the original guys. Is it like hearing from the old time ball players reveling about the good ol days and how it was actually better back then? I would be curious to hear some interviews from them "off the record"

A-RODs cousin was seen at the team hotel this season..... A-Roid might have gotten him the hookup......... He wanted to stay in Detroit and be a lifer. They traded him to save money.....

Maybe the tigers can redeem themselves after their dismal performance in 06. Verlander wins AL Cy young hands down.... And, although I love the Tigers and think Jackson is a good CF. They NEVER should have traded Granderson Go Tigers!!!!!!

Turn it on its side, NOW, its a "C" shaped tube..........

By all means take a look. I would definately have it looked at by a certified mechanic to give the engine a detailed once over. Also, if it has been kept outside I would look the flooring and for any cracks etc. Also check the tires and straps, they could have some dry rot

I would say you have too heavy a line weight. I LOVE the PopR! My setup is a 6'6-7 St.Croix with 12lb Pline. Or, a heavy action spinning rod with 8-10lb mono. Do NOT use flouro for topwater as the line sinks and will kill the action of the lure.

If the Lions fair better than 8-8 that WOULD be considered a Super Bowl type season. They haven't won 8 games in the last 3 seasons combined...... However, (and I can't believe I am saying this) this is the beginning of the turnaround for the Lions. Their only drawback will be William Clay Ford Sr.

Detroit Lions 0 - 16 nuff said.........

Only 40 hours on a 12 year old boat???? Something seems off IMO :unsure:

Tell him GOD was a fisherman...... I bet THAT will REALLY get him going..

It IS a fish attractant.......................

I commend you for posting this link..... And, to all our service men and women, :USA:THANK YOU ...

That was Awesome. Commentary was funny also

As some of the other comments have stated, who would EVER fish with this guy again. No, there is no proof, except the fact that he admitted to "jokingly" asking to purchase fish. Come On, if I were Nate and my carreer, name, and guide career were on the line and I thought I were innocent I would be kicking, screaming and yelling on every podium I could find to clear my name. The fact that he only made a half hearted excuse/apology condemns him IMO. A dark day for Bass fishing for sure.

You don't host 60+ tournaments a year where there are NO fish.......

Both Monroe and Brookville are excellent lakes as well. Brookville has a very strong SM population. I have only fished Brookville once this summer and had decent success around rip rap for smallies. Havent fished Monroe Dont get me wrong, Patoka is still a great fishery. You definately have the opportunity to catch 5-6lb fish. 15 years ago I remember haveing 75-100 fish days on Patoka but most of the fish were in the 12-15in range. Now, with the slot limits that have been in place for years there is a good number of 5lb+ fish. Crappie fishing is excellent at Patoka. It is still one of my favorite lakes to fish as there is an abundance of fishable cover.

All good points. I have informed him that he can either use the muzzleloader or the 20ga. It just isn't a viable enough caliber for deer. Although many deer, I am sure, have fallen to this caliber I dont feel safe with him shooting it. Especially for his first deer. Part of the thrill of the first one is a good clean kill and his chances of speedy recovery and humane kill are seriously deminished with this round.
